"Sporting Lisbon's biggest problem is the lack of a fulcrum to get the ball in the frontcourt, especially with the ball behind the back."
Luis Suarez saw through the most essential crux of Sporting Lisbon's offense at a glance.
"Without holding the ball behind the back, all players can only play their role when facing the direction of the goal. Once the wing is unfavorable, the entire offense will be greatly compromised. This is the reason for Sporting Lisbon's poor performance in European competitions."
When saying this, Luis Suarez shifted his gaze slightly and looked at the visiting team's bench.
Although he could only see the ceiling, he seemed to be able to see Su Dong sitting inside.
"Does Boloni have the courage?"
Luis Suarez is very confused, because it would be a very difficult choice for him.
Su Dong is too young and has never played in the first team. Is it possible to replace him at this time?
There are still forty minutes left in the game. If he comes on and performs abnormally, it will not only be a waste of a substitution opportunity for the team, but also a loss in the game.
"Is there no one else? For example, Ronnie." Scout Garcia felt strange.
Luis Suarez shook his head, "Ronnie is also a frontal impact player. He is very fast and explosive, but it is really difficult for him to get the ball with his back. He will probably do better than Joao."
·Pinto is worse, not much better than Jardel.”
"The most valuable thing about Su Dong is that there are too few centers like him. He should be the tactical fulcrum of the team's frontcourt and the core of the offense. Even if he scores few goals, he is equally valuable.
."
Garcia did not expect that Suarez would have such a high opinion of Su Dong.
But having been immersed in European football for many years, he also knows how difficult it is for Boloni to gamble on a professional rookie like Su Dong at such a critical moment, especially now that the second half has just begun.
"Maybe, we should wait a little longer," Garcia analyzed.
Luis Suarez shook his head, "To put it bluntly, a ninety-minute football match is a competition of consumption of players from both teams. Major tactical variables like Sudong should be done quickly. If you wait until both teams are exhausted, then
How effective can it be if I replace it?"
"Frankly speaking, Jardel's goal-scoring ability is indeed very strong, but the consumption of the two central defenders is not great. If it drags on, it will be more detrimental to Sporting Lisbon, and it may even slowly lose the chance of victory."
As an experienced player and head coach, Luis Suarez has his own unique analysis of football.
The situation is very clear now. Setubal is leading 2-1 and is focusing on stability. Sporting Lisbon is lagging behind and must do its best to fight for three points, so it must take the initiative to seek changes.
Su Dong is the only player in Boloni's hands who has the potential to change the situation.
The only question is, when does Boloni plan to change?
Just when Suarez was guessing, Boloni moved on the sidelines.
"This kid still has some courage."
…………

"Su!"
Boloni turned around and shouted forcefully towards the bench.
Only he himself knows how much energy he used to shout this, and how embarrassed he was.
Before his butt was warmed up, Su Dong quickly jumped up from the bench, and quickly ran to the side of coach Boloni under the envious eyes of Ronnie and others.
"Can I play?" Boloni asked.
Su Dong took a deep breath, nodded and said: "You can do it anytime, sir."
"Have you seen that Paulo Ferreira clearly?" Boloni asked again.
"He pressed higher in the second half."
"Because he knows that none of our players can hold the ball when he is fighting close to him." Boloni said fiercely.
This is such a pitiful and irritating thing.
But in fact, this is precisely the tragedy of many mid-to-lower teams, because they simply do not have as large a talent pool as the wealthy teams, and it is impossible to collect such a rich and diverse range of different types of players.
So many times, they can only watch the team lose.
It's not that they don't know how to win, it's that they can't win.
"Your task is to hold the ball in the left half of the frontcourt after you come on the court and bring out your characteristics. You can either hold the ball from the front or hold the ball with your back. The point is, you have to work hard to hold the ball. Understand
?"
Boloni spoke very forcefully, almost through gritted teeth.
In Su Dong's place, he made an unprecedented gamble.
Especially at the beginning of the second half.
"I understand." Su Dong said nothing and nodded solemnly.
…
Su Dong walked back, taking off his coat as he walked.
He kept taking deep breaths, adjusting his inner mood swings, and trying to calm himself down.
He tried to convince himself that this was just a simple league game, just like when the second team played and the first team trained.
But in fact, this is self-deception.
"How's it going? Are you going to have sex?" Ronnie came up to him, his eyes full of envy.
Su Dong nodded, "If we can't open up the situation, he hopes I can catch the ball."
"This is what you are best at, isn't it?" Ronnie smiled and took over Su Dong's coat, "Don't be nervous. Once you get up there, just kick as hard as you can. No one will judge you whether you perform well or not."
Su Dong smiled slightly, but shook his head and said, "No, I want to show my best side."
He straightened his back and turned to look at the court, "Because I can't be sure when the next opportunity will be if I don't play well in this game, so I will never let it pass!"
At the end of the sentence, his expression became extremely determined.
At this moment, he no longer felt nervous or apprehensive, and he no longer doubted himself.
He only has one thought, and that is to go on the field and give full play to his strength.
Let the head coach, teammates, opponents, and everyone see him!
…………
…………
"It's fifty minutes now and Sporting Lisbon still failed to create a threat."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So far in the second half, they have not even had a chance to threaten the opponent's penalty area."
"Bologni on the sidelines was a little anxious, and it seemed like he was about to make a substitution."
"Player No. 36, replaced No. 3 Rui Bento."
"Let me take a look. Player No. 36 is called Su Dong. He is a Chinese player. He just joined the team during the winter break. It is said that he performed well in the second team. He is only seventeen years old. This is also his first time representing Lisbon.
Competitive appearance and competition.”
"Bologni replaced a 17-year-old youngster when the team was unable to get started. Is he taking a big gamble?"
"We currently don't have any information about Su Dong. We only know that he performed well in the second team and is a center."
"Look at Su Dong standing on the sidelines. His height is not bad, but he is a little thin."
"Replaced Rui Bento with a youngster, how will Sporting Lisbon play next?"
…
Captain Barbosa ran to the sidelines, listened to the coach's arrangements, and made adjustments immediately after returning to the court.
Jardel is still at the forefront. He is currently Sporting Lisbon's best player who can suppress the opponent's central defender.
Sudong played as the left winger, Quaresma played as the right winger, João Pinto returned to his best position as an attacking midfielder, and Barbosa and Paulo Bento formed a double midfielder.
Sporting Lisbon adopted a more pressing offensive tactics.
…
Paulo Ferreira looked at Su Dong running into the stadium with a frown.
So high!
Although he was just over 1.8 meters tall, Su Dong was more than half a head taller than him.
His legs looked slender. When he ran into the court, Ferreira also noticed that his movements were very agile and he looked different from those clumsy tall players.
Just lost some weight.
Observing this, Ferreira turned to look at the head coach Campos on the sidelines, trying to get some signals from the coach.
Campos also noticed Sporting Lisbon's substitutions, but they didn't know much about Sudong.
According to initial impressions, Campos gave Ferreira instructions to strangle him.
Although he was only twenty-three years old, Ferreira had a lot of experience and immediately decided to give Su Dong a blow first.
As for young players, you just can't let them do whatever they want, you have to curb their performance from the beginning.
After being hit in the head, they often become unbalanced easily.
Thinking of this, Paul Ferreira immediately looked at Su Dong with malicious eyes and thought to himself: Unlucky kid, don't blame me, who made you so unlucky?
…
Once again, the offensive organization was frustrated and was forced to pass back through the center line.
Sporting Lisbon started again in the defense to organize the next attack.
This has become the norm in the game, and it has happened countless times.
The Setubal fans in the stands booed in response, obviously thinking that Sporting Lisbon was too courageous.
Is this the style a strong team should have?
When the ball came to the feet of Andre Cruz, the Sporting Lisbon center back stopped the ball and looked up.
Su Dong saw the difficulty of playing the ball in the middle and backcourt, looked around, immediately saw the problem, and ran back immediately.
Andre Cruz saw Sudong, immediately passed to the left and shouted to Rui Jorge.
After the left back stopped the ball, he took two steps forward. Just as Su Dong came to the center line, he immediately passed the ball through.
This pass was given very quickly, but very accurately.
Before playing just now, Su Dong drank three bottles of potions, Swiftness, Titan and Energy, which temporarily improved his abilities and made him more confident.
Fighting with full buffs and making his first-team debut, he became extremely excited.
Facing Rui Jorge's pass, Su Dong not only judged the direction of the ball, but also felt the threat from behind.
The malicious Paulo Ferreira also followed him and retreated. When he turned his back to stop the ball, he accelerated and caught up from behind, and he directly hit Su Dong's back.
In Ferreira's opinion, the thin Su Dong should have been knocked away by him at once.
After all, he is only seventeen years old.
If it were an African player, Ferreira would still be a little wary, but Su Dong's body is obviously not strong.
Facts have also proved that Su Dong's body does not have an advantage.
Boloni asked him to avoid the center and play on Ferreira's side, just to consider his body.
When Su Dong concentrated on controlling Rui Jorge's direct pass with his right foot, Paulo Ferreira suddenly bumped into him from behind. Although Su Dong was well prepared, he still staggered.
Fall forward.
